So here I am in the middle of the day,
Curtains closed sunglasses on.
Was told, "cheer up things can only get brighter".
I bloody well hope not !!!



LITTLE SPIDERS

I have a little spider,
In the corner of my eye.
Why it lives there I know not why:
When it's time for them to hatch,
I'm sure that I will die.

So I went down to the doctor,
She told me it was the tearing
Of the retina in my eye.They
still look like little spiders,
Or maybe they could be flies.

I see them darting up the wall,
Some I try to brush aside.
But I can't get rid of them at all,
They're always there, They never
seem to fall. Little spiders and flies,
Climbing up and down the wall.

Are we in the museum of horrors or what?
so far from what the advertising show us

This reminds me of my father in law - who had the heeby jeebies from drink; he liked talking to his imaginary phantoms - not that the same is the same for you Alan.

I've had those. They're very distracting. I hope that yours go away soon.
